Default Coolant leak

I had my coolant flushed about 3 weeks ago because the resevoir was low and it as dirty but now the resevoir is already back down to the add mark. Before and after getting the coolant flushed I see coolant dripping from the unibody rail on the passenger side but it just seems to be coming from the drain? on the passenger side. I also took it into the shop awhile ago and they pressure checked the system and said there was no leaks.
